Rule changes are minimal for 2013, DDRS (double drs) has been outlawed – which was the primary reason for Mercedes’ competitiveness in first five or six races, so unless they can come up with something similarly ingenious, next season will be more of the same.

Schumacher right to retire from Formula 1, again
Yes the least a seven-time champion deserves is a half-decent car, and if the Mercedes was anything close to that earlier in the season, I don’t know what it is now.
After the time he has put into making it a success, not to mention staking his own reputation, his decision to retire is completely justifiable, I hope Hamilton knows what he’s getting himself into!

Thanks for the enthusiasm, I think Schumi will look back on his decision in twelve months with no regrets.
He gave it his best, but in that car, nobody – including Hamilton, is capable of competing for podiums, let alone victories and championships.

Hey Mark,
Canada is definitely up there – one for Button’s drive and nabbing Vettel on the last lap, but also for Michael Schumacher’s return to the front of the field, brought back the memories, so unlucky to miss the podium!
Italy was great – loved seeing Schumacher dish it up to Hamilton for nearly half the race, and also, Japan, seemed to fly, top cars were seperated by nothing, and there was some really good racing.
Hoping to see a Webber victory or a Schumacher podium before the season is over!
Good job with the Bathurst blog on Sunday!
Cheers,
The Radical
Jenson's on the Button
Not a huge Hamilton fan, in fairness he is probably the fastest driver on the grid.
He would win a lot of respect from yours’ truly as well as many others if the car’s ability is the same as this year, and he somehow manages to mix it with the Red Bulls, McLarens and Ferraris…
